Workplace Wellness

With Essential Oils

Many of my clients, friends and family, have shared some of the inconveniences of working in an office. Sharing your space in close proximity to others on a daily basis, could present some uncomfortable situations at times I would imagine.

It is challenging to be productive, energetic, and sometimes even pleasant, if one is suffering from a headache, stomach ache, bad breath, body odor, others body odor, PMS, neck and shoulder tension, or the creepy, rude, and sarcastic co-worker who brings in the negativity.

What if you could have your own personal remedies for all of the above, right at your desk?

Great news! You CAN! I would like to share a few tips on how you can incorporate essential oils into your lifestyle whether it be at work, or…at home.

I have many resources on my website explaining Essential Oil use and why it is important to only use the purest quality and highest therapeutic grade oils available. You can read more about that here!

To avoid overwhelming you, I will give you just a few of my favorite versatile oils that can be used to help control many symptoms.

(I carry these oils with me everywhere and have been the “go to” gal in so many circumstances! Ballgames, dinner with friends, on-site corporate wellness jobs when I need to freshen up, all day seminars when I need to focus, caught out in nature without my bug spray (make my own with essential oils btw….), and when I’m going to be spending time with people who are Debbie Downers;)

Peppermint Essential Oil

Common uses of Peppermint Essential Oil

Alertness – Great oil for after lunch when you need a little pick me up! Just open the bottle and smell!

Thieves Essential Oil

The highly antiviral and antiseptic properties of thieves, help protect the body fromthe onset of the flu, colds, and other viruses. I ALWAYS keep thieves around! This potent blend can be used for so many purposes including bad breath, odors and as a hand sanitizer.

It is important to educate yourself on proper use of the oils prior to using. Many of the oils should be diluted with a carrier oil to reduce the potency and possible skin sensitivity!

Rain, rain, and more rain……..

Does this rain have you in a funk?

Not much sunshine the past few days huh?

I’m not a huge fan of rain lasting several days in a row. It makes me feel sleepy, unmotivated, and a little irritable. My “rain headache” returns, along with a few aches and pains when we get a good rain like we have had. (Thank you God/Universe for the rain:) Seriously, I know many people with arthritis and old injuries, along with fellow headache sufferers…tend to have flare ups on rainy days. However…I’m not going to write about that at this time.

I thought this would be an appropriate time to offer you a special price on a Raindrop session in lieu of the rain!

For the next two days, I will be offering 15% off of a raindrop session. The Raindrop session lasts approximately 75 minutes long and the normal fee is $125.

Schedule your Raindrop session that begins with dry skin brushing, and done while lying on the deep penetrating far infrared heat of the BioMat. Your body will thank you from the inside out!

I was a washed up fifty two year old pitcher still trying to make it in the big leagues, and as predicted three weeks into the baseball season my arm was hanging off my shoulder. As I was pondering my third retirement speech I remembered a project one of my student’s did on a massage View Full →

Her skills and Practice are a great asset
